“Furniture as an Art”
Hi and welcome to Crabtree Woodworks. I build furniture in the Wichita, Kansas area. I have a deep respect for American furniture of the early 18 and 19 hundreds. I use this respect and inspiration to create my own furniture. like an artist painting a picture, I start with only sketches and mental images of what I want. This leads me down different roads of expression as the piece evolves. Once finished, I have a one of a kind piece of furniture with character all its own.
” He who works with his hands is a laborer.
He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman.
He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.”
-Francis of Assisi

It’s a shame you don’t have a donate button! I’d without a doubt donate to this excellent blog! I suppose for now i’ll settle for book-marking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to brand new updates and will share this website with my Facebook group. Chat soon!
Wonderful website. Plenty of useful information here. I am sending it to several friends. thanks for your effort!
Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. Nevertheless just imagine if you added some great images or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this site could definitely be one of the best in its field. Terrific blog!
I have plans for videos and other content for the future, thanks for your input Jesica!!
